Constantly on the lookout for useful, interesting, fun and clever ideas to take the time and legwork out of searching for just the right thing. You have a rough idea of what you want, you just need help pinning it down.
If you are the parent of a pre-teen you are more than likely aware of Minecraft, the game played online where the player builds virtual constructions one block at a time. Minecraft allows players to create from their imagination and the results can be as simple or as elaborate as their imagination allows. While the point of the game is mainly to build, things are kept interesting in the form of various monsters that appear at night so the player must also build protection for his virtual self as well as his building in progress.
There have been some quite amazing creations produced by Minecraft players. One dedicated Minecrafter (arguably with no life) built a 1:1 scale version of the Starship Enterprise! You can take a guided tour of it here on Youtube.
So why would you want to play Minecraft on your XBox when the online version is so well featured with a large, experienced community? Firstly the game has been adapted to take full advantage of the XBox 360 platform but the main differences are simpler crafting, in-game tutorials and split-screen multi-player as well as online multiplayer for up to eight players over Xbox LIVE. Minecraft for XBox 360 is in pre-release and orders are being taken now. Release in the US in June 4 while in UK it is June 28
